Hacker News | Ask HN: How have you learned a speaking language?

Hacker News | Ask HN: How have you learned a speaking language?: "remember common words. One day you will get to the stage where you recognise 95% of the words you see, and that's enough to get basic understanding of most material. You'll probably eventually want to aim for about 10,000 words of passive vocabulary. At 10 minutes a word, that's already 1500 hours , about 40 weeks, 40 hours a week.
3) Mandarin or arabic are languages that many people speak and study. You'll be able to find plenty of material online, videos, radio, news, blogs. TV and radio are probably less efficient if you're not able to read similar material, so try to find material with transcripts or subtitles and use those.
4) Teachers can be helpful, but are expensive. VOIP classes may"

Hacker News | Lawrence Lessig's new TED talk

Hacker News | Lawrence Lessig's new TED talk: "What's more fundamental: the way that campaigns are funded, or the fact the most voters have no clue what their representatives actually stand for - or even who they are? Removing the funding doesn't tie the reps down, it just leaves them floating in the wind - and influence can certainly be traded for things other than campaign contributions.
The fundamental problem stems now, as ever, from distributed costs and concentrated benefits. The energy company lobbies with millions because they can expect the benefits of lobbying to exceed the millions. The people could easily out-vote the special interests, but with current technology, the cost of casting an informed vote is greater than the expected benefit.
The solution, I think, is to create technology which shifts the co"

Discussion on one of my favorite quotes - Off-Topic - Wowhead Forums

Discussion on one of my favorite quotes - Off-Topic - Wowhead Forums: "'The world is meaningless, there is no God or gods, there are no morals, the universe is not moving inexorably towards any higher purpose. All meaning is man-made, so make your own, and make it well. Do not treat life as a way to pass the time until you die.
Do not try to \'find yourself\', you must make yourself. Choose what you want to find meaningful and live, create, love, hate, cry, destroy, fight and die for it. Do not let your life and your values and you actions slip easily into any mold, other that that which you create for yourself, and say with conviction, \'This is who I make myself\'.
Do not give in to hope. Remember that nothing you do has any significance beyond that with which imbue it. Whatever you do, do it for its own sake. When the universe looks on with indifference, laugh, and shout back, \'%^&* You!\'. Rembember that to fight meaninglessness is futile, but fight anyway, in spite of and because of its futility.
The world may be empty of meaning, but it is a blank canvas on which to paint meanings of your own. Live deliberately. You are free.'"

Hacker News | Technical cofounder wanted for disrupting the wedding industry: "As someone getting married Saturday, I can say that this would be a GREAT idea. The ridiculous amount of money we sank in to invitations really rubbed me the wrong way.
Also, something I noticed when we were going through all of this was the RSVP process is broke. Even if you provide a pre-addressed stamped post card with a checkbox on it, people still don't respond. I thought about some sort of barcode that can read by smart phones, that auto magically directs to a web site (or they can go to it manually). Either way, you get the idea.
Just some thoughts, but I would most definitely look at the RSVP industry too"

Marijuana Consumption, Smoking, Eating, And Drinking

Marijuana Consumption, Smoking, Eating, And Drinking: "Vaporizers

------- The first vaporizers (also called tilt pipes) were introduced in the 1970's. Vaporizers have a heating element built into them, the element heats the marijuana to a lower temperature than a flame would.

At these lower temperatures, the psychoactive ingredients (cannabinoids) are release from the plant material but some of the other harmful chemicals are not. Because of the lower (sub-flammable) temperature, a vapor is released, rather than smoke. See this for more info."

As an aspiring entrepreneur I'm striving to become more street smart and to be able to persuade people, not get screwed over, negotiate well, create and see opportunities, be able to make things happen that other people can't etc etc.

What stories do people have of experiences, lessons, things they have seen or read that they feel have taught them some more street smarts? Would love to hear them.

The irony of looking for books on how to become more street smart is not lost on me btw.

Thanks!"

A former sous-chef of renowned Manhattan restaurant Le Cirque co-opened The Dessert Truck in 2007, revving something of a trend. The Treats Truck, which focuses on simple baked goods, was all the buzz last year, and Limelight Marketplace, the Flatiron District's new luxury shops mall, has an entire wing devoted to bakers. Aside from Ekster's CupcakeStop, it houses Mari's New York, a bite-size brownie shop owned by the former creative director of Balthazar; Wannahavacookie; The Little Candy Cake Co.; and Butterfly Bakeshop."

About �: "nd innovative is that we set up for-profit businesses and address the need for clean and healthy water at the community level. Our approach combines the best features of existing water treatment models by scaling up proven household water treatment and safe storage (HWTS) technologies to treat enough water for an entire community, which is then sold by local women at an affordable price. Selling the treated water generates revenue to cover future costs of water treatment, while also enabling the women who run the business to earn an income. All of the revenues generated from these water businesses stay in the communities, ensuring community involvement and sustainability."

Secrets of the World's Wealthiest People

Secrets of the World's Wealthiest People: "1. Start young.
With few exceptions, the world's wealthiest people got a very early start in their careers. Warren Buffett was buying stocks at age 11, and John Rockefeller got a taste of business as an accountant when he was a teenager. It's rare to find rich people who started late in life.

When paving your own path to riches, remember that the difference in returns between younger and older savers is mind-boggling. Suppose two people start saving $3,000 a year for retirement -- one at age 20, the other at 40. Earning a hypothetical 8% annually, the 20-year-old will have amassed a comfortable $2 million by age 70. The one who started at 40, alas, will have less than $400,000. Ramen noodles, anyone?

2. Define your goals.
The world's wealthiest people knew exactly what they wanted. Gates starte"
